A Fallen Knight-Lost art of necromancy

Severus, a handsome lad with a shy nature. He lived a life that could be called 'non-exisistent, his interaction with the opposite sex was more or less 'non-existent' as well, except for the crown prince's fiancée, Melanie. That too because both of them were childhood friends. But this didn't last long, because Severus— was killed. Previous life ----- Severus was the ex-general and Shadow Knight of the Rivera kingdom. He was a loyal and charming knight who performed his duties very well. Despite his looks, he lived in the shadow of Crown Prince; Maverick, but destiny turned its wheel and the Crown prince's fiancée fell in love with Severus. Betrayal, heartbreak, and jealousy surged inside him and Maverick planned an assassination for his best friend Severus. Severus died in pain. He felt betrayed and cheated by his own sworn brother but he accepted his fate and closed his eyes to accept death. The next moment he heard something earth-shattering. Nobody knows what Maverick told Severus but whatever it was, it questioned Severus's existence. “No, this can’t be true—” “Who am I?” “What am I?” “Who are my parents?” “What was the reason behind my existence?” Severus died while these questions remained unanswered. ——Present life—— Severus found himself resurrected, to his surprise, in his original body and within the same timeline. "It's only been a few days since I was assassinated, and I've been resurrected," he muttered to himself. As he contemplated his situation, he discovered newfound powers within him. He raised an eyebrow in amazement and questioned, "What are these powers?" Looking around, he noticed a bird perched nearby and couldn't help but wonder, "A bird? Why is there a bird here?" He observed the black raven and inquired, “This black Raven is known as Noworry, huh?” With this unexpected second chance at life, Severus was determined to unravel the unsolved mysteries from his previous existence. He made a solemn vow to exact his revenge. *********************** A new character is introduced in his new life; Noworry, a funny bird who becomes his pet, sent by Hades to help him.

"We can't but I am sure no one knows about this place, moreover this tunnel is a narrow tunnel which has a huge opening from one side but a tiny exit, thus a passage is created inside it and sometimes voices get reverberated inside it even when someone from afar is talking. The sound waves travel faster inside the tunnel. In my earlier days when I was handed over the task of this tunnel, I too felt like this. I even thought I was mad and was hallucinating but it wasn't the case. The ex-general, Severus told us that this tunnel was specifically made this way to distract enemies. Since this is the most crucial tunnels as it directly connects the Resel to the main palace, thus we need to be careful. No one knows when the enemy will sniff this place thus he already made the necessary arrangements. Sigh! What a pity that he died. He was a capable knight"

The guard lamented.

"Yea! I never met him personally but I have heard that he was a legendary knight whose charms were unmeasurable"

The old guard looked at the young guard in contempt.

"You only care about his appearances and not his achievements and capabilities."

The young guard wanted to bite his own tongue. How could he even say these things so brazenly?

"No No, Senior you are taking it all wrong. I didn't mean....."

The voice faded.

The guards went far and far so as their voices...

"Severus, they were talking about you. Didn't they?"

In the darkness, Desella was snuggled close to Severus. It was a slippery tunnel which had an underground stream. Severus was a keen observer and as soon as he heard the voices of metal colliding he understood that they were patrol guards thus he quickly lifted Desella up in the air and turned her around swiftly where it was complete darkness. However, he was meticulous enough to hold Desella over his body in a position such that Desella was standing on his feet. Severus one hand snaked around her waist whereas another arm was over Desella's mouth. He was afraid of her shouting due to his extreme reflexes. After the guards left, Severus still maintained the same position and didn't allow her to back away.

Severus had no expressions on his face, however, his eyes were focused.
